High scoring night in Alberta Dec. 16/08

The Red Army took to the ice for yet another high scoring game, on a night when the other two NHL teams of Alberta were involved in high scoring affairs as well. However, the Red Army ended up losing or winning by a score of 15-14, where as the Oilers lost 9-2 and the Flames won 6-3. Hoppe came out strong early in each period. He was about +10 on his first shifts of each period combined. Tyler and Calvin chipped in with a couple of goals. Gord suffered from back and shoulder pain much of the game, but managed to control the puck very well in almost all situations. Oh, the Red Army must of lost because they pulled the goalie with 1:30 to go in the game and didn't score by the end of the game. Overall, the RA faired quite well considering they were without regulars Jay, Brian, Mark, and Casey for this one. The Red Army play again on Sunday night in Sundre. One of Tyler's students' dad plays on the Sundre team and is already threatening to beat Tyler up as a result of his daughters report card.
